Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Cause: The username field validation logic within the 'Import Virtual Machine(s)' dialog for VMware source (v2v) didn't allow dot(s) within the name and didn't allow domainName\userName format (only userName@domainName format was supported). Consequence: Users trying to import an external VM from VMware vCenter server with logging user name that includes dot(s) or/and that appears in domainName\userName Windows format couldn't set this value to the username field in 'Import Virtual Machine(s)' dialog because validation error appeared. Fix: The following formats are now allowed in username field: username (can contain 'A-Z', 'a-z', '0-9', '_', '.' or '-' characters), userName@domainName domainName\userName

Description of problem:

I'm trying to import a VM from VMware. On the "Import Virtual
Machine(s)" screen, my VCenter username is not accepted, because "Name
can only contain 'A-Z', 'a-z', '0-9', '_' or '-' characters" and it
contains a '.'. I would think a '.' in the username should be OK.

Comment 1 Sharon Gratch 2017-11-05 11:45:13 UTC
In addition to allowing dots within the user name, this bug fix also added a support for the following user name format: domainName\userName.

Details:
Till this fix the following formats were allowed in username field: 
username, 
userName@domainName

In this bug fix we also allow the following format for Windows, since it may be used by customers as shown in screenshot of BZ 1496744.: 
domainName\userName

Verified: 
rhvm-4.2.0-0.6.el7
qemu-kvm-rhev-2.9.0-16.el7_4.12.x86_64
sanlock-3.5.0-1.el7.x86_64
vdsm-4.20.9-1.el7ev.x86_64
libvirt-client-3.2.0-14.el7_4.4.x86_64
virt-v2v-1.36.3-6.el7_4.3.x86_64
VMware 6.0.0 Build 2594327

Verification scenario:
1. Authenticate to ESXi using SSO user, add SSO domain/user with dots in it and assign global permission to it.
2. Browse webadmin -> VM -> import dialog, enter VMware details and domainName\userName (in my case the domain\user created is: qa.compute), select VM to import and import it.
3. Verify VM imported and can be run properly.
4. Repeat test case for Windows and Linux VMs.
